Winter Tour: Talkeetna Adventure
4 days / 3 nights

The town of Talkeetna is located approximately 115 road miles north of Anchorage. This small distinctive community of less then 500 is often said to be the inspiration behind the television series “Northern Exposure”. The town is also the main staging area for climbers waiting to start their Mt. McKinley ascents, and the Talkeetna area is probably the best location on the rail system to view “the Mountain”. Talkeetna is really worth seeing. Don't miss out on a true Alaskan town.
